Her making fun of Melania is definitely not racist but it was in poor taste since Gigi's mom also has accent (being Dutch).

This plastic lady (Melania) is not worth any more attention,

 

At least half of Hadids (Gigi's mom and Bella) are "plastic" too. Just sayin'.

(and the Michelle speech debacle)

 

I don't think that was a debacle. I think it was a very deliberate thing. Remember, Trump is a master of social trolling just like Kardashians. That speech was stolen with every intent of aggravating people. They (Trump team) could've stolen a good speech from various people or take several speeches and piece it into one but they did complete opposite, stole it from the last person you should steal it from, the current First Lady.

yes but Bella is good plastic

Gigi could have done it better, but I was amused. I don't like Melania and I won't apologize for it. I don't respect her and I never will. Never mind that Gigi, Bella or any of their family is also plastic. For me, this whole situation only applies to Melania, it was a joke, and it was no big deal. 

Nobody asked for your apology?

That "joke" was most cruel idea of the organizers. Not Melania, but Gigi herself became a joke. A daughter of two immigrants scoffing about an immigrant... How dumb is that. Hope, her Jordanian papa had her butt whipped that evening. Moreover, who is M.Hadid himself? A mini copy of Trump: a rich developer, lover of young bodies. The situation is so dumb, undescribable. Every time a model sticks her nose outside a runway - it becomes a catastrophy. They should really keep their tiny brains doing their modelling jobs and nothing else.

To create a account just to say that

I'm a two times inmigrant myself and I still make fun of people's accent, including my own. Unless you are pretty stupid, you know you have a funky accent and you either embrace it and live with it (see Sophia Vergara and Salma Hayek) and laugh at yourself, or you take a an accent elimination class and improve your accent, easy as that  

the joke aside she was a pretty bad host. honestly was a bad choice not her fault thats just not her lane

Is Making fun of immigrants ( mocking accents being the most benign example)  equivalent to demonizing or bullying them? 

 

Just because someone's an adult doesn't mean that bullying should be OK. Melania is going to be just fine, I imagine she has developed thick skin by now but it doesn't mean mocking her should be something people should give Gigi a pat on the back.

 

Melania Trump is a First Lady-to-be, there should be some level of class and respect directed towards her. Especially since she didn't sign up for any of this, her husband pulled his entire family into politics.

Yes she is an adult but she also can be sad about what people say about her. That being said, she wasn't bullying by Gigi. She even did not make fun of her accent but of the woman "stealing" Michelle O speech.

How can you make an impersonation of Melania with out the accent? It wasn't funny but saying (not you) it was racist is beyond bull shit.

And it's going to be very hard to have "some level of class" when it comes to this family. I don't mind Melania tho.

Her face give me the creeps but I have nothing against the woman.

Michelle Obama was insulted in so many disgusting ways in 8 years -ape in high hells- was the last insult on twitter/

Melania is just at the beginning of a long list of real mockeries and insults. < and i am not saying it's a good/normal thing.

The hashtag "rape Melania" was revolting.

I mean Bushes, Clintons, Obamas had all been picked on. People mock them and their different accents all the time. I don't know why all of a sudden it's such a big deal? Just because they have American accents it's ok to mock but Melania has a European accent so she's not fair game? I'm really over this PC shit. I do Asian lady nail salon accent in jest all the time? Is it stereotypical, yes. I don't think it's racist. People around me have mocked Arabic accents and I'm Arabic and I find it funny. People are way too touchy.

 

I do agree that there should be respect to the First Lady. But it's really just a joke. SNL do this all the time but they don't get overly attacked.

I agree with everything you wrote but just to add, I don't think Mrs Obama was mocked by any TV network, this was ABC, it's a bit bigger than some random stuff on social media.

But I get it, a lot of media in the US is pro-left, you could see it during and especially post-election.

And yeah, that Melania's speech was blatant forgery, even though I doubt she chose it. My thinking about it is that Trump's team knew Melania isn't a good speaker and in order to prevent people analyzing her speech they intentionally ripped Michelle's so everyone concentrated on that. In the end, Trumps ended up profiting from it.

 

 

 

It's a big deal because people want it to be a big deal on social medias and on her topic. People make fun of my accent too. And in USA most Americans are super rude with people with an accent. How many time I had a "what" shout at my face because someone did not understand how i pronounced a word. My American friends are telling me my accent is fine and perfectly understandable and sexy -as Kevork said "stereotypical"- but I still have people looking at me like I coming from another planet when I talk English in the US.

It's true she wasn't mocked by any big tv network or even by celebrities.

I agree for the Melania/Michelle speech.

It's just sad  a future first lady doesn't have the idea to educate herself and make her own research about the words she is going to say.

It's also super hard for me to write in English and find the right words but I try! Her English is good tho.

It's telling how much she has a say in all of this. None at all. Hell, Donald prefers to have Ivanka with him in important talks.

Ivanka is going to be kinda a low-key First Lady (yes I understand that sounds creepy).

I am almost certain Donald Trump has no respect for Melania.

Placing his son behind him during his speech after the election, say it all.

 

 

I see theres no love for Gigi's look for the AMAs in this topic. I guess I'm not the only one who  feels unease about her plasticky look of late?

It's true she looks kind of weird ^^ too much make-up and ugly contouring?
